Refactoring and enhancements for codebase excellence

Overview

This pull request incorporates a comprehensive set of refactoring, optimization, and enhancement initiatives designed to elevate the codebase in terms of clarity, maintainability, testing resilience, documentation, and overall performance.

Changes Made

Structural Refactoring for Enhanced Logic and Efficiency:
- A comprehensive reorganization of internal packages and classes has been meticulously undertaken to establish a more intuitive and logical structure, fostering code comprehension and navigation.
- New internal classes, specifically tailored for setup properties parsing and command-line argument handling, have been strategically introduced to promote better modularity and a clear separation of concerns.
- Code refactoring has been diligently applied to optimize efficiency, eliminate redundancy, and streamline functionality, ensuring a more streamlined and performant codebase.
- Error handling mechanisms have been fortified to gracefully address potential issues and provide a more robust user experience.
- The setup properties initialization process has been carefully refined to deliver greater reliability and consistency.
Comprehensive Testing and Cross-Platform Compatibility:
- The test workflow has been meticulously reactivated and expanded to encompass multiple platforms, including Ubuntu, Windows, and macOS, ensuring broader compatibility and seamless functionality across diverse environments.
- Previously identified issues with CI tests have been diligently resolved to maintain a seamless and reliable testing process, fostering confidence in code quality.
Robust Documentation for Clarity and Guidance:
- Javadocs have been thoughtfully added to previously undocumented classes and members, providing clear explanations and guidance for developers, fostering understanding and knowledge sharing.
- Informative help messages and output have been enhanced to offer more user-friendly and contextual guidance, empowering both developers and end users.
Streamlined Development with Upgraded Builder:
- The project builder has been strategically upgraded to JMBuilder, leveraging the efficiency and versatility of Python to facilitate a smoother development experience and accelerate development cycles.
Performance Optimization for Enhanced Responsiveness:
- An imports checker has been thoughtfully integrated into the Makefile, optimizing performance by only importing necessary modules when required, reducing unnecessary overhead and resource consumption.
Improved Argument Parsing for Flexibility and Ease of Use:
- The command-line argument parsing process has been meticulously refactored to offer enhanced flexibility, clarity, and ease of use, ensuring a more intuitive and user-friendly interface.

Additional Refinements for Code Integrity and Maintainability

Absolute paths have been strategically replaced with relative paths in Makefiles imports, promoting more efficient imports and reducing potential module conflicts, ensuring smooth code execution and collaboration.
Warnings due to unspecified encoding have been proactively addressed to ensure code consistency and maintainability, adhering to best practices and preventing future issues.
Setup properties have been consolidated into a single, centralized file (setup.properties) for better organization and clarity, fostering easier configuration and management.
